Cleaning the Cooktop, Burner Heads, Caps & Grates
The cooktop is designed to make cleaning easier. Because the gas Burners are sealed, cleanups are easy when spillovers
are cleaned up immediately.
The cooktop, Burner Heads and Caps should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the Burner Head Ports clean will prevent
improper ignition and an uneven flame. Refer to the following instructions:
THE COOKTOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. Do not attempt to remove or lift the cooktop.
Use caution when replacing the Burner Caps so the Electrodes are not damaged. This may cause a
de ayed gn t on or prevent the burner from gn t ng.
